The Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering team from St. Anthony High School in Effingham, coached by Mr. Matthew Poston, performed exceptionally well in Mattoon Friday at the WYSE Academic Challenge.
Scoring all possible points in the 300 Division, the students received First Place. The students also performed well over all. The only other school to match their point total was Mattoon in the 1500 Division.
In Mathematics, Maria Jansen received first place in her division and first place overall; Craig Brummer received second place in his division and second place overall; and Heather Esker received third place overall.
In Chemistry, Jonathan Day received first place in his division and first place overall; Heather Esker received second place in her division and second place overall; and Amy Goeckner and Craig Brummer tied for third place overall.

In English, Nicole Rutledge received first place in her division and second place overall and Nicole Haarmann received second place in her division.
In Biology, Anthony Schottman received first place in his division and third place overall and Nicole Haarmann received second place in her division.
The three divisions are based on the number of students enrolled in schools, either 300, 700 or 1,500.
More than 300 students from area schools competed in the Academic Challenge.
Last year the students received second place. I am very proud of students for their hard work and accomplishments. Congratulations to each of them, and to Mr. Poston, for their fine work!
